Liu Chang carried a bottle of mineral water in her hand, and walked up the steep mountain road with two slender legs, her steps were light and fast, surpassing the speed of ordinary people running wildly on the flat ground.

In just a moment, Liu Chang ran a long distance.

At this time, Liu Chang also felt that her physical strength was rapidly depleting, her body heat was rising, fine sweat began to seep out of her forehead, her heartbeat accelerated, her breathing was short, and even the steps under her feet were a little messy; The dark energy in the Divine Gate was naturally mobilized, and it flowed from the energy crystallization to the hundreds of bones around the body.

As soon as the dark energy was running, it replenished the consumed physical strength by itself, her body heat began to subside, the sweat that had begun to ooze from the forehead stopped secreting, her heartbeat and breathing calmed down, and her messy steps returned to the right track.

At this point, Liu Chang felt that if there were two things to describe the relationship between her and dark energy, it would be cars and fuel, which was simply an immediate effect.

In addition, every time the dark energy runs, Liu Chang naturally enters that wonderful state. At this time, she not only felt comfortable, but also received certain blessings from various indices of her body.

The darkness of her surroundings seemed to her to be almost indistinguishable from daytime, and her ears could hear farther away, even through the sound of the wind, the muffled roar of beasts deep in the mountains, and the sound of woodpeckers' beaks tapping on tree trunks in the dense forest.

Liu Chang's movements are lighter, the uneven rocks are like walking on the ground under her feet, and her reflexes have become more agile, she can accurately cross the gravel branches across the road in the process of running forward, and she can easily pass through the sharp turning sections.

Liu Chang faintly felt that her current strength was much stronger than when she first started her evolution.

She ran all the way, and there was a lot of noise on the stone steps, and from time to time wild beasts were alarmed on the way, of course, only some hares and birds, and the rumored beasts did not appear.

This is the difference between facts and rumors, there are indeed large beasts on Qinglong Mountain, but they mainly live in the deep mountains and old forests behind, and it is not common to come to the front at ordinary times, otherwise any person will encounter two South China tigers as soon as they go up the mountain, and this Qinglong Mountain tourist scenic spot will simply not be opened.

Liu Chang was immersed in the wonderful pleasure brought to her by evolution, and unconsciously turned over the mountainside and approached the top of Qinglong Mountain.

At this time, she also suddenly realized a key problem, as she continued to get closer to the top of the mountain, the dark energy in her body was being consumed at an accelerated pace. She could clearly feel that the energy crystal, which was as big as a soybean grain within the Divine Gate, had shrunk into a red bean grain, and she was afraid that more than half of it had been consumed!

Of course, the evolution of the body consumes dark energy, which is as understandable as the fuel consumed by driving. But don't forget, the divine gate in Liu Chang's body can continuously absorb dark energy, and the speed is very fast, and it only took a short moment to condense this crystal in the body.

It stands to reason that her absorption rate can completely keep up with the consumption rate.

And now the fact in front of her is that her physical exercise actually consumed more than half of the dark energy in her body. It's not scientific at all!

Thinking of this, Liu Chang's steps slowed down and slowly stopped. She needed to think about what was causing the situation.

In retrospect, except for the time when she opened the Divine Gate in the last days, her return to the real world was the third time she activated the dark energy. As for the first two times, one was a fight with Brother Qiang's gang, and the other was a run in a small square, both of which happened in a brief moment, and she didn't pay attention to these details.

And this time, the dark energy has been running for a long time, and she carefully recalled the situation just now, and found that her body did not absorb dark energy from the outside world in the process of her body training and evolution!

Thinking of this, Liu Chang suddenly felt a big head, but she didn't panic, but continued to analyze.

What's going on? Why don't you absorb dark energy?

Liu Chang's delicate eyebrows frowned tightly, and he squatted on the ground and pondered for a while.

After thinking about it, she felt that the cause of this phenomenon seemed to be only one possibility, that is, there was no dark energy in this world, at least not on the Qinglong Mountain where she was!

Although this assumption contradicts the theory that dark energy is ubiquitous in the universe, for now, it is the only plausible explanation.

It seems that we have to go back to the end times to better start evolution!

Liu Chang stood up, unscrewed the mineral water bottle in his hand, and raised his head to drink. After figuring out the joints in her heart, she realized that her throat was slightly thirsty from long and strenuous exercise.

Dark energy can replenish the energy lost by the body, and even at higher levels, it can be converted into food and water. But now Liu Chang is only the first layer of human-level evolution, and he can't even get a first glimpse of the doorway, how can she master such a powerful method?

Therefore, when you are thirsty, you have to drink water, and when you are hungry, you have to eat. These normal physiological demands are unavoidable.

After taking a sip of water and being blown by the cool breeze in the mountains, Liu Chang suddenly felt refreshed, and was swept away by the numbness that had been in contemplation for a long time.

She stood up and observed her surroundings, and after exiting the evolution, her body also returned to normal levels from the blessed state.

Now the place where she was located was no more than fifty meters from the vertical distance of the mountaintop, and around her was a dense circle of endless trees, and a few dozen meters away from her there was a large fountain, from which clear water gushed out and flowed down the rocks, forming a small waterfall rushing down.

It's a pity that the amount of water in this waterfall is too small to have that spectacular sight.

Liu Chang looked at it for a while and felt that it was not interesting, and at this time she didn't plan to continue to practice, otherwise the dark energy in her body would be exhausted and she would not be replenished, who knew what would happen?

When she was about to leave, Liu Chang looked up at the top of the mountain that was close at hand and regretted that if it was daytime, she would definitely climb up, so that she could experience the king's qualifications of climbing to the top and having a bird's-eye view of the Quartet. It's a pity that it's night, and even if her evolved eyesight is amazing, looking down from such a high point except for the flickering lights in the city, there is only a piece of darkness left.

Because she doesn't have to practice anymore, Liu Chang is more like a walk when she walks down the mountain, and she is still thinking about what she will do in the two days before and after the end of the world.

First of all, I have to be fully prepared this time, the seamless steel pipe at home seems to be not formal, I should change an axe or hammer or something to take advantage of. and the pistol that Liu Xingguo gave her, she should study how to use it when she goes back, in case of emergency.

The second is to prepare a lot of food and water, and you have to buy a good hiking backpack and a military water bottle.

This time is different from last time, when you go over there to collect gold and diamonds, you have to put it first, and the most important thing now is to use the unique post-apocalyptic environment over there to strengthen your actual combat experience, in order to speed up your evolution and make yourself stronger as soon as possible.

By the way, that Warhawk off-road vehicle has good performance, I wonder if I can still see it this time?

Of course, how could Aiqi's cute little Lori be forgotten by her, if she had the opportunity this time, she must go to the Cangyuan Mountain base to visit. I feel that Liu Xingguo is very decent, so he should be good to her, right?

Liu Chang looked forward more and more to the end of the world two days later.

Suddenly!

Liu Chang, who was walking down the mountain, had a strange feeling in his body.

The divine gate in her lower abdomen actually moved, to be exact, a trace of foreign matter was sucked in by it.

It's dark energy!
